GOP lawmaker sues Hawaii to reveal the sex-ed surveys of 11-year-old students

A Republican state lawmaker has filed a lawsuit against the University of Hawaii that demands access to sexual education surveys completed by students as young as 11 years old.

In a news release on Tuesday, state Rep Bob McDermott (R) said that he had a right to see the survey results on behalf of Hawaii’s taxpayers.

The survey is part of a research project attached to the state’s Pono Choices sex-ed curriculum.

The Pono (or “right”) Choices program seeks to lower teen pregnancy in Hawaii, where it is higher than the national average. It’s doing it through designing a curriculum for adolescents to make sure they understand sexual choices, and in a language they understand. To achieve that, the university surveyed children as young as 11 years old about what they already know and think about sexual issues. Now, the Republican lawmaker wants access to the answers those children gave.

You'll see he drags around this sign with him, for one reason or another, at google images:

What would you say if Rep. Bob McDermott approached you and shoved this damned sign in your face?

<shudder>

Maybe he can't think of anything else.

So now he is bored and heard about 11 year olds talking about sex in a survey. Of COURSE he blames the taxpayers that never asked him to do any such thing. He won't admit he is aroused at the mere thought of wanting to read those papers.

Really, a typical repuke imo. They all have some deep seated perversion they hide from the public.
